The components of the Abstract are divided into 2 parts; a Header which designates the name of the thesis author, year of publication (as stated on the front cover), the title of the thesis, degree and program, and the list of thesis advisors; and the text of the Abstract which includes the summary of research objectives, research methodology, research findings, and potential application of the research.

In arranging the Abstract, the Thai version shall appear first, followed by the English version. A good Abstract should meet these criteria; 1) Accurate The Abstract s content must be correct and correspond to the thesis. 2) Comprehensive The Abstract should be a complete representation of research methodology, allowing readers to easily understand research findings throughout the thesis.

3 Chapter 3 Components of the thesis 19 3) Precise The Abstract should be concise and as meaningful as possible, while avoiding focus on unnecessary points, or over emphasizing of details. 4) Informative The Abstract should report only logical information and avoiding criticism; therefore, it should not contain any critiques. 5) Readable The Abstract should be written in polished language with respect to theory and grammars; use complete sentences in active voice; segment the content appropriately through use of indention; avoid using initials or contractions; do not include unnecessary quotes, formulas, equations, tables or figures in the Abstract; and do not include references.
